alert - Story 2408 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive there, with the car windows down, had done nothing to calm him. George felt like he was burning with a kind of internal fire. The familiar landscape whizzed by, everything in sharp focus. The house appeared, and he felt a tightening in his chest.

His sister, Martha, remained stoic, her hands folded in her lap. He couldn't wait to get inside.

He almost ran to the front door, the key fumbling in his hand. The house felt warm, like it had been waiting for them. He moved from room to room with a sense of urgency, his hands reaching out to touch, to feel.

He needed to see everything, and he needed to see it now.
